Well, I see the strict firearms laws continue to work well for the United Kingdom. :rolleyes:

Some of the comments reflect that the good people of the UK may be getting fed up. I wonder if it is too late for them? :frown:

Wow, no kidding!!! I'm gonna keep checking those comments. Those are some pretty militant remarks considering the usual 'reserved' words you hear from Brits. I wonder if they'd reverse their comments if someone chimed in about self-defense and firearms.

The one comment about the military patrolling the streets has me concerned, though. Pretty Orwellian.

On another note, Sean Bean has a movie coming out on just this subject. From what I understand it was already released in England but is coming here to the big screen:Outlaw (2007)

I wonder how safe she thinks the streets are now that she has done this "testing?"

While filming in Norris Green, an area of her home town Liverpool, a car slowed down as it past her, wound down a window and a gun was pointed directly at her.

She believes had it not been for the sound of a police siren nearby and a CCTV van in the road, she may have been killed.

What's the difference between a minefield without mines and a citizenry without the ability to defend itself? Nothing. They are equally impotent.

A minefield without mines is utterly useless. It only has value when it's capable of doing what it was designed to do. Likewise, a citizenry without the ability to defend itself is merely a flock of sheep, food for criminals. The legislators who foisted the fantasy on the people are, in effect, accessories to murder, assault, rape, kidnapping, carjacking and the like. Dumb x 2.

Wow!

The government really needs to do something serious and pass draconian laws to get rid of these dangerous firearms in Great Britain. Oh, wait a minute. They already have. Never mind.

I don't have even a tiny bit of sympathy for the British - they did this to themselves.

+1 on no sympathy for the Brits. Shame on them.
